from BOOK REVIEW DIGEST 1910:
"Relates some of the minor incidents of his twenty-three years' archæological wanderings and diggings in Greece, Macedonia, Asia Minor, Egypt, and Syria. The most important achievement of his that these miscellaneous reminiscences touch upon seems to have been the toilsome but richly remunerative exploration of the site of the great Artemisium, or Temple of Diana, at Ephesus.... Gruesomely sensational are some passages of the author's description of his tomb-hunting and body-snatching adventures in Egypt.... The usual and highly acceptable accompaniment of pictures from photographs, to the number of forty, is found in the volume."--Dial.
"The author carefully guards himself from the technicalities of his profession, his style is extremely readable, and the 'accidents' he relates will be enjoyed by any educated reader, yet the work as a whole will naturaly make its strongest appeal to the archeologist and classical student."

"This book is a worthy sequel to Mr. Hogarth's charming 'Wandering scholar in the Levant'; indeed, it seems to us to stand on a distinctly higher level than that volume. It is a work of finer artistic quality. The book may do much good, and will certainly give a great deal of pleasure."

"As the informal record of a restless seeker for ancient relics, pursuing his quest somewhat in the spirit of the gamester or the mining prospector, the book is by no means so dry and dusty as the typical antiquary is supposed to be."

"A charming book. Mr. Hogarth writes with zest and discretion; is good reading for anybody."
